HEALTH & NUTRITION

Healthy and delicious meals to help support children’s growth & development

Excellent nutrition is important for a child’s mental and physical development. We believe in giving all children the very best start in life, and at Moorefield Park Childcare Centre in Wodonga, children enjoy fresh and healthy meals as part of our daily fee. Our menu is designed and prepared according to the Nutrition Guidelines of Australia and is prepared onsite by our centre cook in our onsite kitchen. We provide breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, and a late snack.

What if my child has dietary requirements?

We understand that every child is unique, and some may have specific dietary needs due to allergies, intolerances, cultural beliefs, or family preferences. That’s why we work closely with families during the menu planning process to ensure each child’s individual requirements are safely and respectfully met.

Educating children to make healthy food choices

As part of our curriculum, we educate children in health, nutrition, good food choices, and a balanced diet. Mealtimes are fun and social times at our daycare centre. Children enjoy learning about new foods, trying foods from different cultures, and testing out new tastes and textures.
